We are regularly asked, particularly from our venture clients at money related establishments, why we chose to run with PHP and Symfony rather than a Java structure. What's more, as we have really re-considered options both in 2007 and 2011, we know the appropriate response entirely well. We additionally know firsthand the amount PHP and the PHP environment has developed and advanced the most recent couple of years, how Symfony2 and Composer gave a major hop forward, how PHP v7 and Symfony3 is situated to give the following, at last making us exceptionally positive about our decision and in prescribing it to other people. Read-on in case you're keen on the theme!
Current PHP in Comparison to Java
For what reason are Symfony Development and PHP Development today an undeniably practical option in contrast to Java and Java Frameworks?
The entire PHP versus Java contention is as old as the two dialects themselves, anyway most contentions found online for - or against - are obsolete, and not by any stretch of the imagination substantial any longer:
Some will expel PHP for being a content dialect, yet in all actuality, PHP and its biological community has received increasingly propelled dialect and structure includes after some time. For example PHP has increased hierarchical highlights like namespaces, discretionary sort announcements, rich Object Oriented Programming model and considerably more. The PHP environments on its side have developed extraordinarily, particularly in the course of the last 5+ years. While effectively offer solid testing, area driven plan and quality-driven culture, the presentation of Composer for bundle the executives brought about a culture of reuse of best of breed bundles, which pushed coordinated effort crosswise over tasks like Symfony to another dimension.
A few spots you'll see contentions that Java is more adaptable, yet in the course of the most recent 10 years organizations like Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Spotify, Zynga, and some more, have demonstrated that PHP can scale, and does as such outstandingly well on a level plane.
Different spots will discuss PHP's exhibitions being terrible. Nonetheless, today you can likewise run PHP code on Facebook's HHVM, a VM working much like JAVA virtual machine, with comparative execution properties. On the PHP side, the 5.x arrangement enhanced execution in the course of the most recent 10 years in excess of multiple times. What's more, with PHP v7 arriving in the not so distant future, execution will be dramatically increased, making it on combine with Facebook's HHVM usage. Furthermore, for web applications, ensuring your database and other backend frameworks performs well, has dependably been the primary advancements you should deal with, not simply the dialect.
Different contentions are poor instruments bolster. However, at this point PHP is generally bolstered by IDE's (precedent: PhpStorm by JetBrains), and furthermore has heaps of troubleshooting instruments and profiling administrations like SensioLabs Blackfire, and others like Tideways. PHP is all around bolstered by Continuous Integration administrations like Travis, and has a few contending xUnit testing apparatuses like PHPUnit, and spec devices like Behat (BDD) and phpspec.
We could go over more specialized contentions for or against, yet in any case when picking an innovation, you ought to dependably take a gander at what abilities your group has first. Keep in mind, it isn't just about the innovation. Your group is the thing that makes your web application scale, perform, and keep running without downtime.
Symfony Frameworks contrasted with Java Frameworks
The last passage above still stands in this correlation too. Symfony2, presented in 2011 following 2 years of dynamic network improvement, took a considerable measure of motivation from Spring Framework, possibly the most well known Java structure out there.
It is sorted out as an arrangement of reusable segments and wraps which together makes up a full stack system giving you a considerable measure of highlights out of the container. It doesn't contain database or NoSQL backends, anyway there are a few top notch Symfony packages out there that give this and other one of a kind usefulness, or stretch out symfony to be significantly more incredible. Once more, this is something you will likewise discover in mainstream Java Frameworks and in the Java people group.
Novel points of interest of Symfony Framework
Nonetheless, this is the place the similitudes end and a portion of the one of a kind points of interest of Symfony Framework and PHP begin to develop:
PHP is the biggest improvement dialect on the web furnishing you with a major pool of engineers of all ability levels that can conceivably work with you on your venture. The distance from apprentice designers that are chipping away at making destinations or modules for Wordpress and Drupal to senior specialists adding to Symfony with a blindfold - and everybody in the middle.
Symfony has an energetic and developing network. With eZ Platform (utilizes Symfony Full Stack), Drupal 8 (utilizes numerous Symfony Components) and Symfony3 turning out in the not so distant future, this will proceed.
Symfony, much the same as PHP itself, is genuinely an open source venture. It doesn't rise or fall on the record of one merchant backing the venture.
Symfony2 presented genuinely one of a kind HTTP and HTTP store dealing with by being a HTTP-driven demand/reaction structure, and furthermore by permitting full utilization of development highlights like ESI for isolating the distinctive parts of your page/application. Symfony2 is fueled out of the crate by a quick PHP-manufactured Symfony switch intermediary, and for mid-to huge establishments a consistent move up to Varnish gives a 10-20x speedup, and an unquestionably more vigorous store dealing with.
Like all things, the effect of a choice, for example, our own can be gauged and estimated all the more precisely additional time, yet we feel our choice to initially utilize PHP, at that point pick Symfony was the correct one. We have effectively gotten incredible input from the network and our client base, which has been instrumental in the majority of our choices from an advancement outlook.
Somewhat in the not so distant future we will blog more about extra one of a kind points of interest of including eZ Platform best of Symfony, anyway even without those we trust new accomplices and engineers will comprehend and exploit the numerous advantages the PHP + Symfony programming stack gives.
